Powderfinger

歌曲歌詞

Look out Mama there's a white boat coming up the river

當心，媽媽，河上有一艘白船駛來

With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail

裝著巨大的紅色信號燈，揚起一面旗幟，欄桿上還有個人

I think you'd better call John

我覺得你最好聯繫一下John

Because it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail

因為他們好像不是來送郵件的

And it's less than a mile away

它離這兒已經不足一英里了

I hope they didn't come to stay

我希望他們不要留在這兒

It's got numbers on the side and a gun

船身側面有編號，還有一把槍

And it's making big waves

它正掀起巨浪

Daddy's gone my brother's out hunting in the mountains

爸爸離開了，哥哥去山裡打獵了

Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou

自河水吞沒Emmy-Lou以來，John就一直買醉

So the Powers That Be left me here to do the thinkin'

所以只剩我在這裡思前慮後

And I just turned twenty-two

我剛滿二十二歲

I was wondering what to do

我不知所措

And the closer they got

他們越來越近

The more those feelings grew

這種感覺愈加強烈

Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring

手握著爸爸的步槍讓我安心了一點

He told me Red means run son numbers add up to nothing

他告訴我見血就快逃，人再多也沒用

But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming

但是當第一顆子彈擊中碼頭，我就知道即將來臨的是什麼
